When pressed, it turned out that Obamabette #2 knew not only my name (and phone number), she knew my husband’s name as well – she even tried to tell me that perhaps my husband had also called earlier, and maybe he was the one who gave them that information. Which he most definitely did not do, seeing as he WORKS FOR A LIVING, and therefore doesn’t deal with stuff like this (that’s my job).
When I asked her how they had gotten access to my personal information, she couldn’t give me a good explanation.
When I asked her why my information wasn’t kept private – per my explicit request – she couldn’t give me a good explanation either.
When I mentioned that a citizen might have grounds for a privacy lawsuit in light of this information, she sounded taken aback.
When I said that maybe all of the stuff that’s been reported in the media about Big Brother snooping on all of us has some merit, she got really quiet…….
Mind you, I don’t fault her for this – she’s just an entry-level employee; what bothers me is that if our government wants to make life difficult for people who are asking “inconvenient” questions, all some employee would have to do is to flag a call like mine for “further review”.
We can’t have any troublemakers in Obama’s land of Skittles and unicorns, now can we?
